Lester Otero-Perez, Appellant,

vs.

The State of Florida, Appellee.

An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Milton Hirsch, Judge.

Carlos J. Martinez, Public Defender, and Amy Weber, Assistant Public Defender, for appellant.

James Uthmeier, Attorney General, and Daniel Colmenares, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.

Before SCALES, C.J., and MILLER, and GOODEN, JJ.

PER CURIAM. Appellant Lester Otero-Perez appeals his conviction and sentence for

the sale of cocaine and the possession of a place for the sale of a controlled

substance. He alleges the trial court abused its discretion by admitting

hearsay statements and records from Sunbiz.org. Finding the trial court did

not abuse its discretion, we affirm. See Bearden v. State, 161 So. 3d 1257,

1263 (Fla. 2015) (“Generally, a trial court’s ruling on the admissibility of

evidence will not be disturbed absent an abuse of discretion.”).

Affirmed.
